Overview
Togo's infant mortality rate stood at 33.7 in 2025, a decline of +2.2 from 2023. Based on recent trends, this figure is projected to reach 33.7 by 2025. Togo ranked 36th globally.
Togo’s infant mortality rate has fallen dramatically since the all‑time peak of 133.90 recorded in 1960, reaching a trough of 33.70 in 2025, which places the country 36th globally. This 74.6‑percentage‑point decline over 65 years reflects sustained improvements in maternal health services, immunisation coverage and nutrition programmes, while the rate now closely mirrors that of Kenya (33.76) and is only slightly higher than Yemen, Republic of (32.70). The long‑term downward trajectory aligns with regional trends in sub‑Saharan Africa, where many states have halved infant mortality since the 1990s. Nonetheless, the residual gap with the lowest‑mortality peers suggests further gains are possible through expanded rural health infrastructure and continued investment in clean water and sanitation. If these efforts are maintained, the infant mortality rate is likely to continue its gradual decline, moving Togo nearer to the sub‑regional average in the coming decade.
